Yeah, I have to second what Christie says: caffeine is a trigger (and actually, coffee is a trigger for reasons other than just the caffeine), and I can't think of any substitutes that'll give you the same kick. On the bright side, though, once you get that caffeine-withdrawal thing out of the way, and you drink lots of water and herbal teas and are properly hydrated, your energy level will pick up.

By the way, if I could quit caffeine, anyone can. I used to drink an 8-cup pot of coffee a day (4 cups in the morning, 4 cups at night) and nothing but Coke in between. I quit cold turkey back in May, and the first week wasn't pretty, but I obviously survived. Now I drink nothing but water and herbal teas, and honestly, I only ever drag if I haven't had enough sleep or have had an attack. Good luck!
